Setup
Identity Code
NOTE: The latest software can be downloaded at www.crestron.com/software.
The IP ID is set within the TPMC-8X-GA’s IP table using Crestron Toolbox™. For
information on setting an IP table, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file. The IP IDs
of multiple TPMC-8X-GA devices in the same system must be unique.
When setting the IP ID, consider the following:
• The IP ID of each unit must match an IP ID specified in the Crestron
Studio™ or SIMPL Windows program.
• Each device using IP to communicate with a control system must have a
unique IP ID.
Internal Battery Switch
The TPMC-8X-GA comes with a TPMC-8X-BTP Internal Battery Pack installed. To
prevent internal battery drain during shipment or long-term storage, the
TPMC-8X-GA has a battery switch inside the battery compartment. To use the
internal battery, remove the battery compartment cover by first removing the two
screws that attach it to the back of the touch screen. Move the switch to the left (ON)
position and re-attach the battery compartment cover.
To conserve internal battery power when the unit is not used for extended periods,
move the switch to the right (OFF) position.
NOTE: The internal battery can still be charged with the switch in the OFF
position.
